Care & Maintenance

Maintenance
All of the fittings, snaps, locks, rivets, and other hardware and plastic parts on the pet stroller should be inspected periodically to ensure that they are secured properly and not damaged or malfunctioning. All straps and fabric items and their stitching should also be inspected periodically to ensure that they are secured properly and not loose, torn or otherwise damaged. All moving parts, such as wheels, brakes, and hinges should also be checked periodically to ensure they are operating properly. Any missing, broken, or worn components should be replaced immediately, and the pet stroller should not be used until they are replaced. Only original manufacturer’s components should be used. If needed, please contact Joovy at our toll-free phone number.

Cleaning
The frame and wheels should always be kept clean and free of dirt and foreign matter, especially after operating the pet stroller in the rain, snow, or other harsh environments. Use a sponge or cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent cleaner to clean the wheels after such use.
Storage
Direct sunlight may fade the fabric and dry out the wheels. Store pet stroller indoors to prolong its appearance. DO NOT store outdoors. Ensure that the pet stroller is dry before storing it for prolonged periods. Always store the pet stroller in a dry environment. Store the pet stroller in a safe place when not in use (i.e. away from children). DO NOT place heavy objects on top of the pet stroller. DO NOT store the pet stroller near a direct heat source such as a radiator or open fire.
